Educational organization in Auckland

“I went here, only fond memories of the few I have”

“Both of my girls have gone through Te Atatū Peninsula Kindergarten (6y & just turned 5y). The team creates a safe, fun environment for our tamariki to thrive in their years before starting school. I would and do recommend this kindy to anybody who will listen!”

“Both my daughter and son have attended this kindy and we've found the teachers and carers to strike a terrific balance between providing soothing care and encouraging independent discovery. They have gone to lengths to observe and nurture the specific interests of our children and there is a good number and diversity of carers who have each brought their own lovely and unique personality/perspective to our children's development. The kindergarten itself is dense with a wide range of enrichment areas both inside and out, with play areas including books, cars, figurines, dress ups, various mock up rooms including kitchen, along with a plethora of outside activities from sandpit and swings to a vegetable garden and bug hunting. The carers themselves clearly have a devotion to providing the best environment for our children's development and always present as a friction-free team that nurture each other as well as the kids. As probably most of the kids at Westmere Kindy will then go on to Westmere School, they also organise introductory days for late four year olds by walking the couple of hundred metres to the school and spending a few hours in the room they'll be occupying when they turn 5. In short, exactly the people and environment I'm happy to entrust my preschoolers to.”

“My daughter is having a wonderful experience at Happy Kids, thanks to the exceptional care provided by teachers Rachel, Josephine, Mafi, Corina, and Kelly. And Angela is a good administrator. Each teacher is incredibly attentive and dedicated, and their commitment to fostering a love of learning and providing individualized attention is evident in how much my daughter enjoys her time there and the progress she’s making.”

“All my children and grandchildren went there and had good fun made a lot of friends. Teachers were excellent and always strive to go the extra mile. kindergarten Kept me well informed”

“My son goes to this kindergarten and he loves it from the first day! Highly recommend. Teachers are well experienced, kids get one to one attention and teachers find the child's interest and support to bring best out of the children.”

“Mt Albert Kindergarten is a lovely kindy with kind and caring teachers. The outdoor area has lots of room and a huge sandpit.”

“Amazing Kindergarten and teachers are wonderful! My daughter just love going there ! Highly recommended”

“Time flies so fast. I have learned a lot in mamy way. Thank you for all the tutors and staff :)”

“We've had friends who have sent there childen to A Step Ahead and highly recommended them. We've already booked in our child into the centre when they are old enough.”

“kids were superb. want one of my own one day. I took a very attractive photograph of me in front of a painting while I was there. Look at how scrumptious my face looks!”

“My granddaughter goes to this excellent day-care centre and loves it. Besides being well cared for she gets educational input as well as great socialising with the other children. The staff are very caring and very professional. This is an impressive place that truly cares for the precious assets with which they are entrusted.”

“My son currently goes to this kindy and absolutely loves it! All the teachers here are fantastic and so supportive - they are the reason why this kindy is brilliant. I feel comfortable walking in and having a chat to any of the teachers. The programs are great - the kids even learn yoga on Tuesdays! This kindy celebrates all kinds of cultural festivals - Diwali, Chinese New Year & Matariki. There is always something going on. I really like the smaller number of children to teacher ratio and the community feel this kindy offers. My son has made some lovely friends and it's been great getting to know the parents. The new playground is super cool!”

“My 3 boys love Playcentre. Wally started when he was about 16 months, Scottie 1 month and Bo since a newborn. It is a safe, happy place for my tamariki where they learn, play with friends, explore and enjoy playing with Mama and other parents. Thank you Glendene Playcentre for being a special part of our children's upbringing.”

“Amazingly safe pool spot. I take my nephew to swimming as a beginner to Rebecca and he absolutely loves her as well as the class. A little something for everyone and with summer around the corner the outdoor pool will be a great place to hang out”

“This was the first time we have purchased music from Steven and everything went as smooth as possible. Being a digital download (which I really appreciate) I was able to access the music right away and get it out to the band.”

“Baby started at 10 moths and we havent looked back. He loves it and we feel super comfortable with him there. Teachers are very loving”

“After a few bad experiences at other daycares, I finally found the perfect fit for my daughter at young learners. All the staff are amazing and really get to know everything about your child, the ratios are great and there is excellent communication and daily updates. You really feel like everyone there really cares about your child and my daughter is so happy to go everyday. The facilities are great and always super clean, and the lunches are always healthy and delicious!”

“Fantastic staff and location here. Beautiful and spacious gardens that the children tend to, as well as great play equipment. Our children continues to enjoy wonderful and open relationships with the staff and former classmates.There is a grand and old tree in the middle, which really sets this kindy apart from so many small and cramped ECEs.”

“The best decision I made was taking my daughter out of her daycare and starting her at Favona Kindy. My mum enrolled her when she was born and a space only came up when she turned 3yrs, the waiting list is long. The teachers Sally, Joyce & Teena are the best and the reason my daughter loved attending, they are interactive with the kids in everything, they are caring and genuinely love playing and teaching the kids. Every term they had a at least one trip to Snowplanet; Zoo; Devonport using a bus, train and ferry boat; Motat or some where the kids were interested in. Monica would make lunches every day for $3 my daughter would get a sandwich, fruit, carrot & celery with hummus and 3-4 other choices these healthy food choices have continued on through Primary because she enjoys these foods now being a part of her daily eating habits. They recently upgraded their facilities and to top things off they received a 5yr Ero Report which is very rare. If you want your child to have an awesome preschool experience to lead into real school and where they are apart of a caring, supportive and nurturing environment then send your child to Favona Kindy. They deserve it!!”

“Good school in bay area with long history and friendly teachers.”

“Great private school with excellent facilities and teachers”

“Beautiful centre with fantastic learning values.”

“Beautiful space with beautiful teachers. My son was so happy here. The teachers are amazing and helped nurture and grow him into the amazing little boy he is now. Cannot say enough how wonderful it is. 100% recommend it if you're looking for care.”

“We like KU because of the big and little people that make it what it is.”

“Wonderful centre for tamariki - great sense of community”

“It's been 16 years since I've been here but I still remember the caring and patient staff at this kindergarten. Paula and Simrat who worked here in 2005/2006 always looked after the children, they never shouted or got angry about accidents and overall had great work ethic. Highly recommended to take your children here once they turn 4. The only down side though is during school holidays their services are limited.”

“This is a fun and exciting place to be super friendly staff my experience here was awesome stress free enrollment and enviroment most of all my daughter loves her new school.”
